Passiflora 'Blue Bouquet' sometimes incorrectly called. Passiflora 'Blue Boutique'. This is a massive plant with 5 lobed leaves up to 19cm long and 23cm wide as above. Originally credited to Rick McCain in 1989, the breeder Patrick Worley summarises below:-

'''The Correct name is Blue Bouquet not Boutique. P. 'Blue Bouquet' is a seedling of ((P. amythestina x P. caerulea) x (self)) x P. caerulea. I did the cross in 1990 and it bloomed in 1992. It wasn't named until much later. It was distributed for testing and I believe that some of it went to Europe where it was renamed.''
Sincerely,
Patrick J. Worley
